Do you think they are double compressed based on the file names? Just in case: A file foo.tar.gz is not compressed two times. Tar is only combining all files to one uncompressed "archive" file. Note "all" could be just one. The foo.tar file is then compressed as a whole by gzip.

A .tar.gz file is similar to a .zip file.

@vsiegel Haha, I wouldn't have gotten very far if I didn't know what a .tar.gz file is. They're tarballs which have been gzipped twice.
